WG Davies is proud to be supporting the Paddle-Peak-Pedal Challenge, an extraordinary 12-day endurance adventure raising awareness and vital funds for Prostate Cymru and the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association.
Today, a team of ten friends led by Welsh rugby player Paul Thorburn have taken on a unique challenge combining kayaking, mountain climbing and cycling across Wales. Thorburn, who earned 37 international caps for Wales between 1985 and 1991 and is renowned for his famous 70-yard penalty kick for Wales, will lead the group on their remarkable journey.
The Challenge
The Paddle-Peak-Pedal Challenge will see participants:
Kayak approximately 200 miles along the Welsh coastline from Mumbles, Swansea, to the Menai Strait near Anglesey over eight days
Climb Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), Wales’ highest mountain
Cycle approximately 180 miles over three days back to Swansea, covering around 60 miles per day.
As one of the challenge’s key logistical partners, WG Davies is providing essential transport support throughout the event. Specifically we are transporting the team’s bicycles from Swansea to North Wales ahead of the cycling stage and assisting with the return transportation of sea kayaks from North Wales back to Swansea.
Paul said: “Challenges like Paddle-Peak-Pedal rely on much more than just the efforts of the participants. The logistical support provided by WG Davies is invaluable, it allows us to focus on the challenge itself and, most importantly, on raising awareness and funds for Prostate Cymru and the MND Association.”
We would like to wish Paul and his team the best of luck and we will be sharing updates of their progress.
GOOD LUCK 💪🏻 🌊 🚲
